Ah! I totally forgot about fighting games. Soul Calibur has Mitsurugi, so it definitely counts, and the Dreamcast suddenly reminded me of Shenmue.

Even if it doesn't...

Primal Rage
E.V.O. The Search for Eden
Shelter
Goat Simulator (and the million other animal simulators)

Hope you didn't mean to discriminate against the flora & rock simulators

;P

FEMINIST? I thought she was just supposed to be lesbian (granted I have not had a chance to play the game).

Or is she more the classical "stand up for yourself" type as opposed to the "Don't tell me to defend myself, teach them not to kill me." type.

The industry should just be whatevers at this point, be whatever it can be when it needs to be instead of focusing on one mindset.

keep it in the gamergate containment topic?
not sure if i want to see more japanese visual novels on GOG or anywhere else.

This article has nothing to do with gamergate at all.

I want to make gaming less overbite centric. If anyone has been gaming for any length of time they should no that gaming is too dominated by people with overbites, a condition where their upper jaw closes over their lower jaw which is actually a very normal thing that doesn't even warrant a long description like this one.
Anyhoo, both playable characters and players are people with overbites and I FEEL gaming in general has become unwelcome to people without it. I FEEL it very strongly. I FEEL based on my own and my only experiences that gaming is an overbite dominated soup and there needs to be some cleansing. So to respect my subjective FEELINGS you all must obey them.

See? I can be very officiously PC too. Can I haz Patreon money now?

Yes, a brilliant game like Okami counts.

Thats my impression I mean one guy wrote an article proclaiming that she is now the face of gaming :P

Don't forget the Ecco games...

Whenever you make a message or punchline very obvious it spoils the game to an arguable extent, not just in games that happen to have a political or ideological message, but also in any other kind of game.
When you don't exaggerate LGBT characters in video games people are more tolerant towards them, if not indifferent.

Gaming for me though should be a safe haven from the religious/political/ideological onslaught of daily life.

The "bro-culture" represents a very thin slice of all gamers, people who happen to play very specific types of games.
I mean how many of these "bro-gamers" would you expect to play games like Kerbal Space Program, Star Ruler, Euro Truck, Project Cars, Stasis, Tex Murphy and so on. Not that many I would argue.

So why should "gamer-bro's" represent all gamers anymore than someone who only plays strategy games, MMOs, racing games, adventure games, simulation games and so on. Its freakin' stupid.

Edit: instead of using the terminology of 'bro-gamer' we should call it for it most likely is: '14-year old boy playing CoD when his mother is not around'.

There are things that cater to one group that make another group avoid it.

The sales of the game have to depend on people who don't mind playing LGBT character and recieve LGBT response from the game.

After all, it will be ridiculous to ask people who don't like such game to support it.

The issue with Tomb Rider etc is with the gaming genre. Gothic unto Risen series - male hero only. Two Worlds - male hero only. The Witcher (minus Dethmold) - male hero only. I like!

You seem to wish to frame potential / eventual LGBT gamers, plus those who are their supporters, as "entitlement" crazy little freaks, whining away and trying to make gaming ... unnaturally ... diverse. When in fact, they could make gaming a better place if only they would subscribe into the standard hetero white norm, eh!

But this is just a little more than hypocritical, I find. If all of us enjoy gaming, what is it away from you? Tell me, pray, so I might understand.


"Rust" - ring a bell, eh, 011284mm?

If you follow gaming news, you must know the fact that gamers being randomly given a race based on Steam ID caused a lot of whimpering: "I am not a racist, but really... what the fouk, I must play as black! I wanna select my race!"

Why do you think these complaints were raised?


I am fairly sure you did not go forth to tell those people to get on with it - because you struggle to understand why some might not enjoy their random raced CHAR, or? ;-)

+1 My thought also. There's one moment in that game that's a little bit unexpected, but in no way does it approach horror. I think some people who don't like horror didn't play it because they thought it might be scary (probably due to marketing). The game is for an entirely different audience than horror.
